Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Spectacular on all accounts

Feb 2020 • family

Not only is this restaurant beautiful, with linen tablecloths, candle light and crystal but the service is impeccable and the food quite fantastic and it is reasonably priced. I am a challenge as I am allergic to gluten and dairy and the chef came out to help me choose my meal then followed up to be sure he wasn’t including anything I can’t eat. My dining companions have less restrictive diets and we all loved everything that came to the table !! Not only that but we were informed that if we had special requests in the future we need only call in advance and they could custom make almost anything they had the ingredients for!! If you haven’t already tried Massom’s, do so soon!

VERY NICE

Feb 2020 • couples

Me and my wife went for dinner (18:00 pm) and were greeted immediately (restaurant was not busy.. Anyway) by one of the waiter. We took a sit, after they brang our jackets in the wardrobe. They offered us a typical Indian bread with 4 different sauces just to start, from the beginning all the service was very accurated and the food was good and tasty... Expecially the prawn perhaps it was the best dishes ordered. I m not giving 5 stars only cause the "pudding" was a Ferrero rocher ice cream... We didn t imagine that and it was very frozen.. But the kindness of the guys avoided the complain...the bill was accurated, without service and the price ratio was very good. Being a poor area of restaurants, they try to do all the best and they manage to do it. I recommend it.

A place worth eating at.

Feb 2020 • none

We're been twice recently and can completely recommend Masoom's. The place looks immaculate (not sure what some of the other reviewers have been looking at?), white linen tablecloths and very neatly laid out; the staff could not be nicer or more helpful; the food is freshly prepared and gives no signs of having been sitting in the kitchen; and the prices seem like a breath of reason in the local area sea of stupid prices. We plan to eat here again as we're only a few miles away and the whole experience has been very pleasant.

Horrible takeaway

Dec 2020 • none

We have had takeaway from Masooms a few times and they were OK BUT last Friday we paid £38 for 3 meals and the two biriani dishes were awful, luke warm and very short on so called king prawns, it just seemed like they had warmed up some leftovers. The papadoms were stale, expensive and greasy. I will never get a meal from this restaurant again.

THE BEST CURRY I HAVE EVER HAD

Aug 2020 • family

I visited here with my family during our staycation. The BEST curry I have ever eaten. We have had the pleasure of eating in some lovely curry houses but this tops them all. I cannot recommend this curry house enough. The service is excellent and the Chef personally comes out to ask if you have enjoyed your meal. Really lovely environment and lovely people, most importantly the food is exceptional and you really will not be disappointed. If I could give it six stars I would. Thank you for a wonderful meal and excellent service. We will most definitely be back!!

Friendly Indian Restaurant

Jul 2021 • none

My husband and I had intended dining at The Millar of Mansfield but it was closed so we headed for Masoom's and enjoyed a lovely meal. We had a starter each of King Prawns and a main course, Duck Jalfrezi between us with pillau rice and naan bread plus a bottle of wine. While waiting for the meal to be prepared we were given a plate of poppadoms and various dips which were lovely. Tables were spaced well apart and staff wore masks. I don't know whether or not they have an outside eating area, it was raining when we were there so we didn't enquire.

Delicious food, very kind and thoughtful service

Aug 2021 • couples

We were delighted by the array of delicious vegetarian food on offer as well as the generous quantity of chutneys served with the poppadums. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere so much we came back two days later and the food was just as tasty and high quality! The serving staff were very friendly and attentive. The service was very quick and we felt able to enjoy our food at a relaxed pace.

Still terrific

Dec 2020 • couples

A Masoom’s curry is always something we look forward to. The team are doing a great job of serving delicious meals through these difficult times. We’ve had several takeaways during lockdown, and an eat-in meal during “tier 2” in December. Very thorough controls in place to keep customers safe - but I’m looking forward to the day when we can eat in at a packed Masoom’s again. We recommend the chicken massalam and the king prawn jhol. And the huge onion bhajis. And the tarka dhal.

Last night in Goring

Aug 2022 • family

This restaurant staff knows how to satisfy it’s customers, first off a warm respectful welcome by the staff, walked in with a group of 9, they didn’t waste time setting up a long table and got us all seated. Beers ice cold, fresh assorted curry dishes came out, flavours amazing, pilau rice boiled to perfection, meats melting in your mouth, poppadom crispy, you couldn’t get better then this. Thank you to all staff and management for making our last night in Goring such a memorable one accompanied by such delicious Indian Cuisine. More success and wish you all well

Excellent food and service

Oct 2022 • couples

Lovely restaurant with a huge selection of dishes which made it hard to choose. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Classy decor. Was very busy indicating how good it is! We had mixed grill which was of a very high standard and cooked to perfection. My partner loves very hot food and they gladly made him a phall which did not disappoint. Naan bread was perfect and poppadom and dips also great. Good prices too. Would have given a five star review but the red wine we ordered had quite a bit of sediment. They did however take £5 off our bill by way of compensation which was appreciated. We would definitely return here if in the area.

Bangladeshi Indian - go elsewhere for authentic Indian food

Jan 2024 • business

This is a Bangladeshi run Indian restaurant; don’t bother if you’re looking for authentic Indian food as you won’t find it here. The food lacked flavour and spice, I had to ask for hot sauce to make it remotely palatable. The table staff were very attentive and I can’t fault them but this was the most disappointing Indian meal I have had in the UK.

Dreadful

Jan 2021 • none

Following recommendation we ordered a takeaway. Chicken Rezala and king Prawn Bhuna, nothing overly complicated. My Rezala was inedible; It looked suspiciously like the Bhuna, and tasted solely of bottled lemon juice and raw chilli powder; to be fair it’s described as tangy lemon with fresh chilli, but someone had clearly been heavy handed with the jif lemon! Add to that the tough, dry chicken and it ended up in the bin. My wife’s Bhuna was average at best and coincidentally she was ill following eating it, The rice was nice though and COVID precautions looked good, maybe the chef was having a bad day.

Very average if not below average food

Jan 2021 • none

We moved into the area over a year ago but had never tried this restaurant, despite being avid lovers of Indian food (we cook a lotta home as well as eating out). The menu boded well with a few non-typical dishes. There were a wide spread of reviews but it averaged a 4 so we decided to give it a try for a lockdown takeaway. We so wanted to have a really good Indian restaurant on our doorstep. Unfortunately, this isn’t going to be the one. The standard of cooking was average at best and poor in some cases. The best dish we had was Chicken Massalam. (But only average). The worst were the Tarka Dal (the garlic had obviously been burnt prior to putting it into the lentils and it lacked salt) and the Begun Biran (the aubergines were not fully cooked and still hard). A tandoori dish and the naans gave the impression that the tandoor had not been up to full heat and didn’t have that lovely slightly charred flavour. I wish I could be more positive because god only knows that small businesses need support right now but I believe that being honest and frank can only be helpful for customers and the restaurant.

Delicious food definitely recommended.

Aug 2021 • couples

We travelled to goring from the Midlands our friends in the Midlands recommended this restaurant. We pre booked on their website. Your first impressions of the restaurant are clean tidy and well presented. The staff are extremely polite and professional. The menu is full of the usual plates with a good selection of different options to tease your taste buds. The nurul starter is definitely worth a try. Delicious. You won't be disappointed. Book now. We we be coming back.

The best service and food I've had in my living memory!!

Aug 2022 • family

High praise indeed, but I can't state strongly enough how much we enjoyed our visit to this restaurant. Myself and my extended family came to Goring for the weekend for my cousin's wedding. We kept walking past this place and promised ourselves to visit before we leave; this we did on our last night, we arrived an hour before closing, we were worried that with a party of 9 they might not want to seat us, but they prepared a table for us and we ate and thoroughly enjoyed. My family hail from Canada, Sweden and US, Masoons was an amazing entry to Indian cuisine. My particular favourite was the king prawn jalfrezi and bindi, but everything was top notch! 11 out of 10!!
